Documentation:
- Ensure you have your dog’s health certificate and vaccination records ready.

- Use bedding and toys that your dog is already familiar with to provide a sense of security.
Food:
- Pack your dog’s preferred packed food or any specific meals they regularly eat.
- These should be handed over to the pet handler at the time of pickup.
Collar, Leash, and Harness:
- Provide your dog’s collar belt, leash, and harness at the time of pickup to ensure safe handling.
Health Check-up:
- Visit a veterinarian a day before the journey to ensure your dog is fit to travel.
- Obtain a Fit-to-Travel Certificate as an additional precaution.
Comfort for Puppies:
- If you’re relocating a small puppy, hand them over in a comfortable crate to ensure their safety and easy handling until they reach the station.
- For more details on selecting the right crate, visit our Pet Carrier Guide page.
Medication:
- If your dog is on any medication, provide the necessary medicines to the handler.
- Clearly explain the medication schedule to ensure your dog receives the care they need.
By following this checklist, you can ensure a smooth and worry-free journey for your beloved pet.

Special Care for Senior Dogs During Train Travel
Relocating senior dogs (aged 8–10 years or older) requires extra attention to their comfort and well-being. Here’s how we ensure a stress-free journey for them:
Preferred Travel Option: 1st AC Compartment
- For senior dogs, we strongly recommend 1st AC travel, as it provides a quieter, more private, and comfortable environment, reducing the risk of anxiety or stress.
Pet Parents Accompanying the Dog
- We encourage pet parents to accompany their senior dogs during the journey.
- Your presence provides emotional reassurance and helps avoid any potential anxiety issues, ensuring a happier experience for your pet.
Handler-Assisted Travel for Fit Senior Dogs
- If your senior dog is physically fit, we can arrange for a professional handler to accompany them.
- In such cases, we take additional care measures tailored to the needs of senior dogs, including:
- Frequent breaks for stretching and hydration.
- Specialized feeding routines to match their dietary requirements.
- Close monitoring of their health and comfort throughout the journey.
Our goal is to ensure that senior dogs are relocated with the utmost care and attention, whether accompanied by their pet parents or under the supervision of our trained handlers. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll tailor the arrangements accordingly.

Pros & Cons
Pros of Train Travel
Ideal for Senior and Ill Dogs
- Train travel offers a more stable and less stressful environment, making it a great option for older dogs or those with medical conditions.
Suitable for Brachycephalic Breeds
- Breeds like Bulldogs or Pugs often face breathing difficulties in air travel. Train travel is a safer alternative.

Convenient Feeding and Walking Breaks
- Regular station halts allow handlers to provide toilet breaks and short walks, keeping your dog comfortable and active.
Better in Winter Delays
- During winter, flights often face long delays. In trains, even if delayed, your dog stays accompanied by a handler rather than being left alone in a cargo hold.
Cost-Effective Option

Great for Family Trips
- Perfect for pet parents who want to accompany their dog on a shared family journey.
Cons of Train Travel
Longer Travel Time

Limited Ticket Availability in 1st AC
